My girlfriend told me she prefers “transwoman” because it looks neater that way. Neither she nor I heard it was a slur.
I get that (even if I find “trans woman” much neater myself) but it is still language spread intentionally by fascists: its semantics further an agenda that claims trans women are not women. I would respectfully ask her to take this into account.
It sucks to have to ask; I wish we were in a world where it didn’t matter :(
